The loss of the porn collection was especially devastating. It contained 40 years worth of screen sex, focusing on African-American performers, including old school actresses like Vanessa Del Rio and Jeannie Pepper, as well as modern day performers like Cherokee and Pinky (his personal favorite).

"Porn saved my marriage," Johnson proclaimed to The Huffington Post. "It kept me from cheating on my wife. There are a lot of women here who want my [expletive], but I don't want to disrespect her. So I watch porn with her permission instead."

Johnson -- a self-proclaimed "working stiff" -- said he was told his collection was the best in Michigan (admittedly by a man in Connecticut), but he isn't letting his loss keep his spirits -- or anything else -- down.

Johnson's resiliance in the face of adversity has aroused the attention of the porn industry, especially Mike Kulich of Monarchy Distribution, who is helping the self-proclaimed "Hugh Hefner of Muskegon" get back on his feet again with 200 brand-spanking new DVDs.

"He's the ultimate porn fan," Kulich told HuffPost. "He seemed distraught by the theft. This is a guy who bought porn DVDs a couple times a week. He's a collector who put aside money from each paycheck to meet his financial obligation."

Kulich is also offering two free tickets to the Adult Entertainment Expo held in Las Vegas every January so he can meet some of his favorite stars in the flesh.
